Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory

The Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory (CPSL) at Washington University performs cutting-edge research on real-time systems, Internet of Things, wireless sensor networks and cyber-physical systems that cross-cut computing and other disciplines.

What is Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)? CPS is a holistic design methodology that co-designs the cyber and physical aspects of networked embedded systems. By breaking the barrier between cyber and physical designs, CPS will result in drastic improvement to networked embedded systems and new systems that we cannot build today. This talk elaborates on our perspective on CPS.
